+1 for the Kona Dew series. I've put >400 miles on my new
Dr. Dew in the past month(ish) and I love it. I've got it kitted out with fenders, a rack, a dynohub front wheel, and dyno-driven lights.
Only down side is that you can't quite fit 40mm tires and a full fender in the front fork. 37mm or so (real diameter) should be fine, though.
